Some of us don’t choose to lead; we are put in the spotlight. At times like these, it is important to stay true to yourself & make sure the light shines up many lives. Xavier’s team at PR HUB played a great role in leveraging media opportunities to create a large ripple effect across my circle ofinfluence & build my personal brand with resilience & an unwavering commitment. I wish them a great future as they give more power to future leaders & their dreams.

Being a successful serial entrepreneur, a digital pioneer with a global footprint, having built, scaled, and exited several businesses, realized that I had not invested much in building my own thought leadership profile online. This realization came to me when I met Xavier at a conference where we were speaking at. He made me aware of the support he and his teams have been providing other senior leaders to establish an online presence. Having engaged them for the past 3 years, am very satisfied with the holistic value delivered by the team. The quality of the content on my blog, social media assets is amazing. They are also efficient in terms of turnaround times and constantly follow up to ensure the work is complete.

Reached out to Xavier whom I have worked with before to help me build my personal brand focused on transformation. The interactions with his team were not only useful but also a morale booster realizing the value additions done to my employers, clients, partners, and associates alike across multiple years. We ran the test engagement for a couple of months including improving my profile write-up, publishing blogs (https://thetransformationalhoncho.wordpress
.com/category/jp-blogs/), and post on social media in topics of my interest. We had to pause in between owing to my own business priorities. Intend to restart the journey with Xavier and his team soon again. More important now as I have finally started on the NED/Board/Consulting journey & soon would be working with 2 growth stage start-ups.

Xavier and his firm acted as a trusted advisor for the business's launch into the Indian market. The team provided important advice and guidance as we built our go-to-market plan and adapted our messaging for the new market, as well as providing training for senior leadership to confidently talk to the media about the launch.”

We engaged Xavier & his team when we wanted to revamp our entire brand persona and positioning as they knew our business and ethos well being our design & communication partner for many years. Post successful completion of this mandate we also engaged them to consult us from scratch on a fresher’s career-focused venture we were mulling. They developed the name and the identity for the same and also an interesting brand mascot idea. Found them to be highly passionate, quick to understand the unsaid nuances of the brief, driven to deliver tangible value, and quite flexible. Look forward to working with his team sooner.

“Once PRHUB delivered well on the exercise (2005) evolving a clear brand hierarchy for the new offering while developing the core value proposition/positioning of the mother brand, the management team realized the need to roll this new branding and clarity out in an impactful way to ensure it energized the highly knit and loyal team we had. They quickly responded and owned up a multi-year campaign (2005-2008) that involved multiple tactics and was a key element and support to our growth in that period. Wholly recommend him and his team.”

“Aequs had just set up one of India’s largest integrated SEZs for aerospace & defence near Belgaum and the company was growing as well. PRHUB who was already supporting us with the external communication took on the additional mandate of supporting us with internal communication and employer branding efforts. They helped us with multiple campaigns - on safety at the workplace and sense of pride in working for Aequs. They did some excellent in facility branding, got a corporate video done, developed infographics and a corporate campaign to highlight our differentiators points among others. They had a good experienced creative team and their work was appreciated by many leaders in Aequs. The team was quick on the feet, delivered good work and were true partners for the internal team all along.”
Sandeep Jadhav
Sr. marketing & communication professional oversaw the internal communication & campaign effort @ Aequs at that time

“Heading a cutting-edge entirely global R&D focused center out of India, our challenge was not hiring large numbers but hiring lesser but more quality engineers. And once they are in, retaining them and having them highly engaged. Around this time, the pressure was also high on us as the changing market conditions meant innovation become central to everything we do. Reached out to Xavier & his team to help us communicate the centrality of innovation to our existence and also create spaces and activities which encourage and foster innovation. The highlight of the campaign they drove for over 2 years was creation of an Innovation Zone right inside our facility, running a successful newsletter on innovation that captured significant innovations externally and activities being carried out inside SSDI as part of the campaign among others things and a series of activities ranging from getting speakers on various aspects of innovation, activities which foster lateral thinking etc. They crafted a mnemonic and slogan for the whole campaign and ran it end to end. During this time, they were an integral part of our team closely working with the management team, the HR team and delivery heads as well. I was impressed by what they did. Strategic thinking, good creatives, very client driven and hard-working team.”

“When I was heading the India development center of a US-based, fast growing US$110 million IT services player, employer branding/internal communication was one of our biggest focus areas as we were growing significantly and needed good talent in droves. Xavier & his team were an integral part of that effort supporting us across recruitment advertising, internal facility branding, conceptualising and sourcing collaterals among other areas. They also worked closely with me and the HR team to come upon with the overall value proposition, messaging clarity, etc. They were an extended team of us in those days and still recollect some of the things we had done together. I would surely recommend him and his team”

Have any one of you ever wondered what it is like to work under a visioneer, a leader who lets you grow on your own, inspires you to work smarter and deliver better and become a visioneer one day? I would also have been wondering till now had I not been given the opportunity to work under this wonderful person. Work with him or under him, you will forget to complain about a bossy boss because he will make you a smart learner so that you can be a path leader one day.

I knew Mr. Xavier as my teacher in EMDI and also worked in his company for about a few months. From my experience, I can tell you that he was a man of wisdom and he watches over details like a hawk. Also he was a great person to work under. He makes you feel at your ease but never lets you goof around - a very balanced approach towards his work.
